Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound orecchiette pasta (little ear-shaped pasta) or penne
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
6 tablespoons olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 15 1/2-ounce cans garbanzo beans (chickpeas), well drained
1/3 cup thinly sliced fresh sage
1 1-pound bunch broccoli rabe, trimmed, cut into 1-inch pieces
2/3 cup dry white wine
1 cup (packed) freshly grated Parmesan cheese (about 3 ounces)

Steps:

  • Cook orecchiette in large pot of boiling salted water until pasta is tender but still firm to bite. Drain pasta, reserving 1 cup cooking liquid.
  • Meanwhile, melt butter with olive oil in another large pot over high heat. Add garlic and stir 30 seconds. Add garbanzo beans and sauté until garbanzo beans are beginning to color, about 8 minutes. Add half of sliced fresh sage and sauté 1 minute to blend flavors.
  • Add broccoli rabe, wine, and 1/2 cup reserved cooking liquid to pot. Cover and simmer until broccoli rabe is crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Uncover and add pasta, remaining sage, and Parmesan cheese; toss to combine. Mix in more of reserved cooking liquid by tablespoonfuls if pasta is dry. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to large bowl and serve.

This dish was a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would use less olive oil next time.

I'm not a big fan of broccoli rabe, but I really enjoyed this dish. The bitterness of the broccoli rabe was balanced out by the sweetness of the chickpeas and the nuttiness of the orecchiette pasta.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more garlic and chili flakes.

The orecchiette pasta was undercooked and the broccoli rabe was too bitter. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a bit too much chili flakes. Other than that, the dish was delicious and I would definitely make it again.
